Chapter 141
The sky is gray!
The earth is also gray!
And between the two, there is a black river full of fog without knowing the source and the end!
Riverbank edge.
Next to a dead tree that curved hideously and almost hung into the black water, a ragged skeleton curled up behind a rock.
It looked dead for a long time, and the lantern it was holding in its arms had long been extinguished.
Da: Da:
Suddenly, in this dead land, there were footsteps coming from far and near.
Very abrupt, but no less clear.
After a while, a figure slowly walked to the skeleton’s side and spoke:
“Ferryman, I want to enter the underworld.”
The voice fell, and the extinguished lantern lit up with a faint green light.
The skeleton creaked and raised its head with difficulty like a rusty part.
The next second it makes a hoarse sound:
“How many years have passed, and there are still undead here.”
“Is the underworld reconnected to the human world?”
“It didn’t.” The figure responded faintly.
“Sure enough, I thought too much ..”
After saying a sentence with regret, two black flames appeared in the skeleton’s eyes, and he said in surprise.
“Huh? … You turned out to be human! ”
“Why, can’t humans take boats?” Russell asked calmly.
The skeleton shook his head with difficulty and said:
“Of course you can sit!”
“But can you pull me, I haven’t touched in thousands of years.”
Russell reached out and held the other’s knuckles with slight force.
With a click, he directly pulled the opponent’s arm off his body.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while.
The spark in the skeleton’s eyes jumped for a moment, as if thinking, and said after a few seconds:
“If you don’t dislike it, please hold my head and carry my lantern, I should not be able to stand up.”
Russell didn’t care and just did it.
After walking to the shore of the Blackwater River, the skeleton head softly called melodious syllables, and the river tumbled.
A few seconds later, a broken ship with only a few meters rose from underwater.
Skeleton commanded:
“Put the lantern on the bow of the ship, and it will illuminate the fog and guide us forward.”
Russell stepped into the boat and placed the lantern and skull on the bow.
The next moment, the ship slowly moved forward.
As time passed, the surrounding scenery was nothing but fog.
I don’t know how long later, the skeleton suddenly spoke:
“Here we are.”
Sure enough, as the sound fell, the surrounding fog dispersed, and the boat was already leaning against the shore.
Russell looked into the distance.
It was a huge plain of black rocks with no edge.
“The underworld has arrived.” The skeleton spoke again, with a hint of urging in his voice.
Russell was still staring at the wish, and seemed a little lost.
After a dozen breaths…
“Why don’t you go ashore?” Skeleton asked puzzled.
“Why don’t you want gold coins?” Russell sighed.
The skeleton was silent for a moment, and the next second black flames burst out from its eye sockets, forming a hideous and terrifying black ghost!
“Obediently become my substitute!”
It has been waiting for this opportunity for three thousand years, and it will not give up even if it dies!
And what it has to do is very simple, force the other party to leave the ship!
Once the shiptaker who did not pay gold coins went ashore, then the original ferryman was replaced!
And it will be free, like the last soul who deceived itself!
However, in the next second, it was horrified to find that the other party had strangled its ‘neck’!
“Ignorant and fearless.”
“Just let me free you.”
Russell said lightly, and hellfire appeared in his hand, burning the ferryman’s soul almost instantly!
In the next second, Russell flicked his thumb.
A gold coin landed precisely on the skull.
Russell turned his head to look again, and the originally endless black rock plain had disappeared.
In its place, a red dirt road stretches into the distance, flanked by endless cliffs!
It’s like the bottom of an endless abyss.
Russell stepped out, constantly flashing along the road, and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
……
Inside the huge and empty black temple.
Twelve huge columns are lined up on both sides, and the dome falls with a dim glow!
At the end of the main hall, on a huge throne made entirely of ribs, a black shadow sits quietly on it.
But when the perspective is zoomed in, you will find that it is not a black shadow, but a huge black armor!
Time seems to freeze here, nothing has changed, as if it has remained unchanged for eternity.
I don’t know how long it took…
Bang bang bang!
A tumbling sound suddenly sounded in the silent hall, breaking the eternal calm!
On the white bone throne, the black armor first trembled, and then two red rays appeared in the gap of the face armor.
It looked at the ground, and then seemed to tilt its head a little strangely.
Then a dry voice came from the armor:
“This: Be.. Three-headed dog? ”
But in his memory, the three-headed dog of hell guarding the door is three heads, and there should not be only one left.
At this time, a voice sounded in the main hall:
“Sorry, the other two heads were confiscated by me, and this is the only thing left.”
“Actually, I didn’t want to slaughter it.”
“But you, the master, are too careless, starving it to almost only bones, and you want to bite me when you see me.”
This voice was flat and complaining, but it seemed out of place in this hall of the god of the underworld, and there was no trace of respect.
The armor looked up and saw a man in a black and gold trench coat walking in with a casual face.
This moment seems to trigger something.
The pitch-black armor suddenly surged up, turning into black liquid and continuously penetrating inward.
A few seconds later, the black sealing armor disappeared!
In its place was a man in a black robe, with a thick white beard and a solemn face sitting on the white bone throne!
Hades completely woke up from his slumber at this moment, and his eyes looked down with coldness:
“Human beings, why don’t you kneel when you see God!”
Russell smiled slightly, not caring at all:
“Sorry, I haven’t seen a hunter kneel down to his prey?”
“What do you say, Hades?”
The already dark Hades Hall became pitch black in an instant!
Everything seemed to have disappeared, and only a voice of anger with majesty sounded:
“Blasphemy is punishable!”
At the moment when the words fell, a violent roar sounded in the dark space!
Then as the entire hall shook, the wail sounded again.
The next moment, the milky white halo gradually expelled the darkness.
Hades looked up!
I saw that the back of that blasphemous opened its white wings, exuding a soft and holy light!
And at the feet of the other party, a pitch-black, muscular beast is being trampled under its feet and wailing!
It was his newly resurrected three-headed dog of hell!
With a crisp fracture sound, Russell slowly raised his head, and the corners of his mouth hooked up little by little:
“Look, you didn’t understand what I meant by my last sentence!”
Remembering the words of the hunter and the prey, Hades’ eyes became even colder:
“Why, trying to provoke me?!”
“No, no, no!”
Russell shook his denial, revealing two rows of white teeth, staring at Hades dead and smiling:
“I actually mean … I can really fight!! ”
